Program Overview
Versant's developer program provides you with everything you need to incorporate state-of-the-art NoSQL persistence to your applications. Anywhere from embedded applications requiring a simple & transparent database solution to enterprise grade applications with big-data requirements. At the core of the program is our Versant Most Valued Professional (MVP) program. Versant MVPs are recognized individuals with expertise in Versant products who actively participate in our community to share their knowledge and expertise with other users. Fellow Versant users find it helpful to distinguish those members in the community who have built a track record of contribution. The Versant MVP program is the way that Versant formally acknowledges the accomplishments of these individuals for their contributions to the community. Every year, the Versant MVP committee at Versant nominates Versant MVPs according to strict selection criteria. The award is valid for one year. Versant MVPs are recognized with a certificate, an optional listing in the Versant MVP directory and a distinguished badge in the community user profile. Furthermore, the top ranked Versant MVPs are often granted prizes and special privileges. All Versant MVPs are visibly qualified for Versant-related development projects, its partners and its customers, making the award also an important building block in a professional developer's career profile.
